I try to install Tkdesigner, but I got an error :

ERROR: Failed building wheel for Pillow

Failed to build Pillow
ERROR: Could not build wheels for Pillow, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
I try to install pyproject.toml with pip, but the issue persists.
Without basic information about what you are doing its hard to help you.
Which OS and its version also which version of Python?
I use Windows 11 64 (build insider:22635.3061)
And python version 3.12.1.
Do you have 32bit or 64bit python installed? IIRC; pillow doesn’t currently provide 32bit wheels, so you would need a C compiler installed and configured.
implies 64 bits
Really? You can’t install python 32bit on windows 64? That would be news to me.
You’re right. Sorry, I keep forgetting this.
Can we please see a complete log, starting from the command that you use for the installation and including all of the output - and formatted like code? What you’ve shown us is really only the part where Pip says that something went wrong, but nothing about what went wrong.
Where I can find the logs ?
Run the command that failed again but redirect the output into a file.
Something like this:
py -m pip install pillow >pip.log 2>&1
Note you will see nothing in the terminal until the command completes.
All the output will be in pip.log that you can post here along with the exact command line you used to create it.
With your command the log file is :
Requirement already satisfied: pillow in c:\users\veron\appdata\local\programs\python\python312\lib\site-packages (10.2.0)
but if i change
py -m pip install pillow >pip.log 2>&1
by
py -m pip install tkdesigner >pip.log 2>&1
The log file is :

This is why it did not build.
I do not know how you would make zlib available for a Windows pip build.
Anyone else know how to fix this?
Oh and what version of python have you installed?
What does py report as its first line? I’m interested in if this is a 32 or 64 bit version of python.
Sure ! It’s python 64 bits version : 3.12.1
And with vcpkg ? Packaging Archive Files Example: zlib
Tkdesigner appears to have several issues with their packaging that are causing you problems through no fault of yours.

What can I do?
- Work in a virtual environment (“venv”) rather than using the global environment to install dependencies:
py -m venv tkdesigner_venv - Install the dependencies of tkdesigner, but without specifying versions; the latest should probably be fine (and if not, you can adjust them later):
tkdesigner_venv\Scripts\pip install requests urllib3 Jinja2 Pillow - Install tkdesigner without checking dependencies:
tkdesigner_venv\Scripts\pip install --no-deps tkdesigner
Hopefully this will work for you; I’ve been able to replicate this much, but don’t have what’s required to actually run the program.

You have Pillow version 10.2.0 installed.
tkdesigner wants a version that is older than 9. It tries to build from source for 8.4.0, from the source it already downloaded.
It tells you exactly what is wrong when it tried to build that version of Pillow, and what you should read next in order to understand and fix the problem.

Worked well for me, thanks!
